XM on DirecTV

November 15 is the date. If you have DirecTV, you will also be getting XM Radio. Read more here.

I also happen to know that if you have one of the premium DirecTV packages (Total Choice Plus, or better), you'll be getting a number of extra XM channels not included in the basic package. Included in this group is the Southern Gospel channel "enLighten." (Punch 828 on your remote after November 15). The SG channel was previously available only via XM's online service.

The looming question I have is why do they have "room" to offer this "online exclusive" channel via DirecTV, but they don't have room on the bird to offer it to people who pay directly to XM for subscriptions? I can guess what they might say...that they are using DirecTV's satelites which have more room for music channels, obviously, since they handle video as well...but it seems a bit unfair that a regular XM subscriber is still limited to listening to enLighten via a crumby online signal while a DirecTV user is getting it as a gift at no extra charge.
